Description Suggest change

Home to some of the only bouldering in Ohio. Great day trip if it's close by with some definite classics.

Witches Front/Back and Trailer Park are the two more boulder dense areas with difficulty ranging from V0 to V7.

Route information, photos, and topographies are from the wonderful people at athensbouldering.blogspot.com/. Without them, gathering all this information in one place would not be possible.

Thank you so much!

Getting There Suggest change

Athens is accessible from Route 32, 33, 50 and 56.

Most of the climbing is off of Route 33/50 or E. State Street.
